In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Lake Whitefish, that was farm raised and harvested as an adult, and is not presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122137 Farm raised lake whitefish (Commodity) encompasses fish and seafood products procured by state and local governments, particularly frozen fish forms such as fish sticks supplied to correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and municipal food distribution operations. State and local buyers under this code include state corrections departments, school districts, county boards of education, and economic development authorities overseeing municipal grocery markets. The work being solicited is procurement of frozen or processed fish products meeting USDA Grade A standards, Child Nutrition label requirements, and food safety certifications (HACCP plans, FSMA compliance, food traceability systems), with delivery in bulk increments (40,000-pound purchase orders for corrections; line-item quantities for school nutrition) and all-inclusive pricing covering freight and transportation.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with four of six recent opportunities issued by Georgia state agencies and school districts.
